❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely! This is a fantastic, family-friendly tour. The squirrel monkeys are small, very gentle, and well-accustomed to human interaction.
The monkeys are free-roaming and will happily jump on your shoulders, head, or arms to eat from the food bowls provided by your guides. For their safety, we ask that you let them come to you rather than trying to grab, pet, or hold them.
